LMS Maintenance Notes - April 21st, 2026

[New Feature] Learner Left Navigation

Overview

Learners now have a dedicated left-side navigation panel that keeps the most important areas of the platform just one click away. The menu is designed to stay out of the way when not needed — it collapses down to icons only, and on smaller screens and mobile devices it converts into a familiar hamburger menu. Navigation labels have also been refreshed across the board to be cleaner and more intuitive. 

Several visual refinements have been applied to the Learner side to create a cleaner, more consistent feel. Drop shadows have been removed, header image heights have been adjusted for better proportion, and the background tone has been lightened. These changes are part of an ongoing effort to unify the learner experience across the platform.

Learner Left Navigation: What's Changed

The following label updates are included in this release:

• "Transcript Summary" is now Transcript
• "My Organization" is now Organizations
• "Purchase History" is now Purchases
• Knowledge Mark has been removed from the navigation

[Restored] Site Messages

Site Messages are back. Admins can once again publish announcements that appear to learners upon login, useful for policy reminders, upcoming deadlines, or welcome content. This feature was temporarily unavailable following the March 24, 2026 Learner Homepage update and has now been fully reintroduced.

[Improved] eLearningCourse Progress

Overview

SCORM course tracking has been adjusted to record learner progress more consistently across a wider range of completion scenarios. Both SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 formats are supported, and scores, completions, bookmarks, and question-level data now capture reliably. A notable addition: if a learner's main browser window is closed while the course popup remains open, their completion will still be recorded, so no progress is lost based on how a course window is dismissed.

SCORM: What's Tracked

• Scores and completion status
• Improved Bookmarking, courses resume where the learner left off
• Question-level response data (Knowledge Checks)
• Completions will capture even when the main browser window is closed mid-session

Bug Fixes

[Sessions] - Account Session Timeouts Occurring Too Quickly

Some users were being unexpectedly logged out while actively using the platform, including mid-course or during admin tasks, even without leaving their session idle. This has been resolved so that active use properly keeps the session alive, preventing interruptions for learners watching videos or admins working through configuration.

[Learning Path Navigation] - Learning Path Catalog View Not Routing Correctly

When the "Enable Navigation to Learning Path Catalog Page" setting was active, clicking a Learning Path title on the learner homepage was routing users to the LP details view instead of the intended visual catalog layout with course tile images. This has been corrected so that the setting behaves as configured.

[Learner Organization] - Custom Field Values Disappearing from Profiles

In some cases, custom field values were being removed from learner profiles unexpectedly, with no record of the change. A bug in the custom field update process that could inadvertently clear field values during certain account operations has been identified and resolved.

[Learner Organization] - Custom Fields Displaying Incorrectly on Learner View

Certain custom fields were showing mismatched or unexpected values on the learner-facing profile page, creating a discrepancy between the admin configuration and what learners saw. The display logic has been corrected so that the learner view accurately reflects configured field data.
